Here is all the football news and gossip from around the UK.

Manchester City have the upper hand in the race to sign Monaco left-back BENJAMIN MENDY, according to the Daily Star.

The highly-rated defender, who has been a star player in the Ligue 1 side's run to the Champions League semi-final, is also attracting interest from the red side of Manchester.

Mendy, who could cost £30million, is expected to desire more top European football next season, which strengthens City's immediate case.

Meanwhile, another Frenchman who has been linked with a move to Manchester United is Atletico Madrid striker ANTOINE GRIEZMANN.

Griezmann is expected to attract some big-money bids in the summer, but his agent has told French news outlet TF1 that United have shown the most interest so far.

The Chile playmaker has stalled on signing a new deal and is expected to be the subject of fierce interest in the summer. But, according to reports, he is set to stay with the Gunners and could even pen a new deal.
